Cruz Azul and Toronto have advanced out of CONCACAF Champions League preliminaries and into Group A, rounding out a group into which Real Salt Lake and Panama’s Árabe Unido had automatically qualified.
RSL Soapbox: An Early Look At Champions League’s Group A
RSL Soapbox - SB Nation’s Real Salt Lake blog - has an early look at the group, out of which Cruz Azul and Real Salt Lake will be favored to advance:
So this means we know what the first two matchweeks will mean for teams in Group A:
Week 1
Tuesday, August 17th Cruz Azul at Toronto FC
Wednesday, August 18th Arabe Unido at Real Salt Lake
Week 2
Tuesday, August 24th Toronto FC at Arabe Unido
Wednesday, August 25th Real Salt Lake at Cruz Azul
So the question will be can Real Salt Lake continue their undefeated ways at Rio Tinto on the 18th, and can they become the first Major League Soccer team to win a CCL match in Mexico against a Mexican team?
